Maybe feed the wires through the hole and use a strain relief next time.

Pay no attention to the wire order whatsoever though

Magnet fishers fined after pulling 86 rockets from Fort Stewart river

And of course the cops are trying to punish them for finding it:

quote:

“You’re all gettin’ tickets, you can come to court and talk to a judge, okay?” the warden said. “The reason magnet fishing is not allowed is because of exactly what y’all got right there. You don’t know what’s going to blow up and not blow up.”

The alternative to tickets would be to go to jail, he added.

quote:

Nachtwey said that he and his team had called the DNR ahead of time, which purportedly said magnet fishing is legal as long as it’s in a “green zone.”

However, the warden stated that red (off-limit) and green (acceptable) zones don’t apply in this scenario because the group was on Fort Stewart property. Because the base is owned by the Federal Government, the Department of Natural Resources has no authority to issue such permission, though it can ticket for offenses in the area.

I’m not saying that they aren’t playing really stupid games, but they at least attempted to get permission.

Probably not a great idea to go fishing near an army base. If it was a random river somewhere and you found 86 rockets, you'd probably be calling the bomb guys after rocket #4, not wait until you got a big haul and took videos and pictures. Dumb lucky assholes to only get a couple of fines.

Presumably they didn't know that federal property was different, and the DNR person they talked to didn't realize that they were going to go to a federal military base area. A broken telephone. A small fine seems par course, they weren't knowingly breaking the rules but government should discourage such reckless and unauthorized activity. They should look into how well that information is available though, if there were no signs on site and nothing marked on maps then it smells like bullshit.

Trespassing aside, shouldn't the general idea to be get loving ordinance out of a water source? And I dunno, maybe get some low ranking grunts to clean it up? OK, it's possibly live explosives (another wrinkle), then get some bomb disposal guys on that poo poo. Maybe magnet fishermen shouldn't be able to scoop old rockets out of a river, because there shouldn't be any rockets in the river in the first place.

Yes, eventually even if they don't blow up the shells will rust and then nasty chemicals will enter water.

But Fort Stewart was founded in 1941 so you can expect that there's a lot of stuff in the perimeter that there just isn't any records of. And what, do you expect the DoD to have money to just look for decades old dangerous poo poo and take care of them??? It might cost millions!!!

think of it like these guys were metal detecting on the land of an army base where live fire exercises take place

they're digging up crap that is better left buried

due to runoff the creeks near any kind of military or large industrial facility will already have nasty chemicals in it, more than what some uxo would contribute

i mean i get the personal freedom and environmental angles but generally we should discourage people from scavenging on the grounds of a military base imo

i mean ideological opposition to the military and war and all that is entirely good and moral, but no amount of moral correctness makes it a good idea to film yourself deliberately fishing around for rusty old bullets and things that might blow your fingers off

I don't understand the problem. The people asked for shell covered driveways. They should have been more specific.
